Jon , I believe the 10 gauge was mainly used for high flying geese . But the 12 gauge now has the 3 and 3.5 inch shells for those same birds . Yes sir, I would call it a goose gun. We'll get these birds before they're very far away... well, we're supposed to. When I bought my Beretta A400 30", I had a spot where geese would fly over to the waste dump. Then I started thinking about the waste dump + geese, and didn't go. |

I want to see what it will do. I need something to spread a wide pattern at 30ft, or I have a great chance of missing it. I'll be thrilled if I get one bird. I'll be so proud. I have to be the worst shot on here. |

Idk Jon 18.5 with a full choke might reach out and touch a bird at 30ft
Wouldn't be very fun to shoulder though probably

Unfortunately, Royal Flush is a bit too far for me to travel. If you guys need a place due to the weather, you might look at Hillside located in Roanoke, Indiana. I have used them a few times. Good hunts, professional skeet range, and an amazing gun shop.

Does the lodge sell and serve food ? If not is there a way we could do a pot luck after the hunt ?

My wife makes some chicken strips wrapped in bacon and puts something on them that... Oh, yum yum. I'd like to try another bird this way. I can ask her. I think it's simple and goooooooood! |

Bird hunting videos are one of my favorites, but I like most all hunting videos.
Pictures are always fun too.

HCG , Do you have any more pictures from Royal Flush hunt club that you can post ? I'll add a few here and maybe a few more from another drive when I get to it. I don't have any pics of the "lodge." It is basically a barn with sitting room and cleaning kitchen. Here are a few pics: Gunners at the ready on a misty morning. Duke (shown) backing Rock (not shown) in this still shot:  Me taking some time to admire and explain the beauty of a rooster pheasant (I guess it's just the Biology major in me) to this young man as he takes his first ringneck!  |

HCG , Is that pheasant still alive in the picture ( the one that your talking to the young dude about pheasants ) Good eye! Yes, but barley alive. Many times, a gunner will "wing" or "drop a leg" on a pheasant. I quickly put this one out of misery shortly after the pic. |
